Mathematical modelling study group

During the final year of my combined honours degree in Mathematics and Computing at Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) I received an invitation to a two-day Student Mathematical Modelling Workshop at the University of Limerick in the Republic of Ireland, hosted by the Mathematics Application Consortium for Science and Industry (MACSI). The workshop was followed by the 82nd European Study Group with Industry. The maths course at MMU is highly oriented around real world problem solving involving mathematical modelling, dynamical systems, numerical methods, ODEs & PDEs and contains a strong programming element, so this was something I thought would be good to attend.
